Aston Villa striker Luke Moore has completed a £3million permanent move to West Brom after signing a three-year contract.
The 22-year-old joined the Baggies on loan in February and made three starts
and seven substitute appearances as they clinched the Championship
title.
Moore, who won his fifth England Under-21 cap in March's goalless draw with
Poland at Molineux, has penned a deal which will keep him at Albion until at
least the summer of 2011.
The deal also has included a further year's option in the club's favour and
the eventual fee could rise to £3.5million depending on performance-related
criteria.
Moore is a product of Villa's youth system and was a prolific goalscorer for
their academy and reserve teams. Alongside brother Stefan, he was part of the
club's FA Youth Cup-winning side in 2002.
Moore followed his brother into the first team reckoning at Villa Park and
scored his first top-flight goal in the 2-0 win over Middlesbrough in March
2005.
The 2005-06 season proved his most productive in a claret and blue shirt as
Moore scored eight Premiership goals in 16 starts, including a hat-trick at
Middlesbrough in February 2006.
Moore also got off to a flyer in 2006/07, scoring twice in the first eight
games, only for a shoulder injury to rule him out for six months.
But he returned to notch twice in half a dozen late-season substitute
appearances. Moore scored twice in nine starts for Villa last term.
In total, Moore made 41 starts for Villa, plus 57 sub appearances, scoring 15
goals. He also scored four goals in six appearances during a loan spell at
Wycombe in 2003/04.
